The Story Behind: The Stranglers - Rattus Norvegicus, Ep 242

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Stranglers started with a jazz drummer and an ice cream van, and somehow made it work such that they continued to tour for 50 years. The boys get together to discuss punk rock, pub rock, and leaving hotel rooms spic and span.
